This one hurts us to include on this part of the list, but there was something about this season that has been really hard to watch. It started out strong, but then got uncomfortable as some of the men (cough Eddie from Friends cough) behaved really horribly and never really faced any consequences. There's still time to turn things around, though!
Sure, it's not a TV show, but many have been binging it like one, just watching it on repeat to stare at the face of Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo).
It's all coming to an end for The Big Bang Theory. Weeks after CBS said they were working on new deals for the comedy to continue past season 12, the network and producers Warner Bros. TV and Chuck Lorre Productions announced the end was nigh, season 12, which is currently filming, will indeed be the last.
The dating show hails from the UK and became popular in the US during season four, thanks to the entire series being available on Hulu as well as season four just being really, really good. It's like Bachelor in Paradise mixed with Big Brother, but very very British, and it's incredible.
You take two (get it?!) established stars in Rachel Bilson and Eddie Cibrian, put them in a show from the creator of Castle and get...a ratings dud and series with no buzz. Hmph. What happened here?
Can you believe we lived so long without the new Fab Five in our lives? Season two, which debuted in June, got us crying all over again as the boys helped make heroes better. Any show that can make us laugh and cry in the same episode—and at the same frequency as Queer Eye—is one to watch. And then there's Nailed It and Nicole Byer, the hero we need and deserve. Without her, Nailed It wouldn't work. Sure, the cake-baking fails often illicit laughs, but Byer and her chemistry with pastry chef Jacques Torres are reason enough to tune in.
Netflix hasn't quite cracked how to do a late-night series and canceled The Break and Joel McHale Show, which is unfortunate because Joel McHale and Michelle Wolf are welcome voices on our TV screens.
The TNT drama starring Niecy Nash, Carrie Preston, Judy Reyes, Jenn Lyon and Karrueche Tran leaned in for season two. Claws embraced absurdity and let its main characters get dirty, make mistakes and be fabulous, crafting a fun and engaging season in the process. Plus, ratings were stable the whole time and on par with season one.
What was once a ton of compelling on-screen drama involving Ruth Wilson became a ton of compelling and sad off-screen drama involving Ruth Wilson. After she was suddenly killed off, she said she was "not allowed" to talk about her departure, but the show's creator claimed they had all mutually agreed her story was over. It does not seem like anyone is all too broken up about the fact that the show will be ending after next season.
Season one was good, season two was so much better. Betty Gilpin is a revelation and once GLOW started spending more time on the supporting players and developing their rich stories outside the wrestling ring everything got better.
Let's just say there's a reason the most recent season was just kinda thrown over to Hulu, then immediately canceled.
After a six-year time jump and a season spent fighting over one livable piece of land, the CW apocalypse drama just went ahead and blew up that piece of land, sent everyone into space, put them in cryo-sleep for 125 years, and is now sending them to an entirely new and possibly alien-filled planet in season six. Who knew you could have this many apocalypses on one show?
Sacha Baron Cohen's Showtime series isn't bad, necessarily, we just aren't sure what it is at all. Is it just a show for pranking people with bad opinions and making Sarah Palin mad? Why was The Bachelor's Corinne Olympios there? Why do we hear about it all the time, but we don't know anyone else who watched it? It just didn't make the impact it seemed like it was supposed to make.
The season itself wasn't bad, but the show and its end couple found themselves in a bit of a predicament when old and offensive social media "likes" by contestant Garrett Yrigoyen were found by fans. It quickly became pretty clear based on the response from the show and from Becca Kufrin that Garrett was going to go far, and so when he won, it felt a little...sour.
Show us someone who watched this season and didn't love it and we'll show you a liar. Never have these women been so compelling, from the complete and total breakdown of Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill's friendship to Luann de Lesseps' rise and fall to the boat ride from hell and pooping in a bed. It was the highest quality of television and you cannot convince us otherwise.
HBO's eight episode miniseries, based on Gillian Flynn's novel of the same name, got off to a slow start, but it could not have finished stronger, hitting viewers with its twist ending only in the last thirty seconds, followed by two tiny sequences in the credits. It was masterful work by all involved.
Netflix's tale of an overweight teen who suddenly loses a bunch of weight and becomes a beauty queen in order to get revenge on her former bullies was hated on the internet from the moment its trailer was released, so the show itself had its work cut out for it when it finally debuted, despite the fact that the trailer wasn't exactly an accurate representation of the complicated series. It currently sits at a 10 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, though the audience score is 86 percent, so there's hope for it yet.
The Ryan Murphy-produced exploration of the ball scene in 1980s New York was notable for the largest transgender cast ever on TV, but it also just happened to be damn good, making true stars out of leads like MJ Rodriguez and Indya Moore with a story that could be at times heartbreaking and at other times heartwarming—and a ton of fun to boot.
